Eilean a' Chaisteal - "The Castle Island, so called because of the dun or hillfort it once possessed."
M E M Donaldson 1920
No trace of fortification on Eilean Chathastail (OS 6" map 1903). The name does not mean Castle Island, but there is conflicting local opinion on its proper translation.
Visited by OS (AA) 8 May 1972
